[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmleloup:
Howdy.

On the Model: SM-N900W8" Bell Galaxy Note 3

Basically when in call, Here is a problem that is reoccuring for the past few weeks ever since a couple over the air (ota?) updates I have received compliments of google.

Enabled right now, via "call settings" = "Turn off screen during calls" is CHECKED with Green checkmark.

Just handset call, moving handset to ear to talk. Handset goes black. When removing handset from ear to click hangup, or press buttons, ie to "see" the screen... screen is continually black. - Fix = PRESS HOME BUTTON... brings screen up...

When on speaker phone call, screen is lit. Move hand to the first of 2 sensor circles by the main earpiece part, screen goes black, but does not return on.

I have tried *#0*#. = "Connection problem or invalid MMI Code". - However try again, and I get red green blue receiver etc etc.

I clicked "sensor hub test" and it went BLACK.

I had to click home button, unlock screen, and I get a white with black text stating that..

INT Check: OK

FirmwareCheck

MCU Firm Version : ST0113090300

Bin Firm Version : ST0113090300

MCU Name: STM32F401CCY6B

"blue letters" PASS

I don't see how it passed, a screen went black, did not return, just went black..

Hit the back button. Tried "TSP HOVERING". That works fancy, drawing green squares everywhere...

Under "SENSOR"

I move the hand over proxmimity sensor - ACD goes to 1000+ when I put my finger over it and the screen goes green with black fonts of the prox, acceler, barometer, lights, etc...

Prox is native when sitting still anywhere from 80-95 averages for ACD

Proximity is 0.0 and TSP Color ID: 00

The different tests are rather cool to try, but not helpful in solving my issue...

What I have done: Use a lcd led plasma tv screen cleaner from nexxtech for non streaking. A cloth that came to clean my glasses I have to clean the screen. It is streak free. I have used compressed air to thoroughly blow the area around the upper speaker / sensors and even had the battery out / cover off, etc and blown every hole around the phone.

I still cannot solve this issue of black screening.

The only resolution which leads my ear to "hang up calls accidentally" is to "un check" ie single box, no checkmark, the "turn off screen during calls" option.... ie disable that sensor thing...

I have hard booted, rebooted, cleaned, etc...

Suggestions?

I have the same problem, hoping I won't have to send my device to the service because it's a pain in my country and I will be without a phone for more than a week.

Anyone know any fix for this?

I plan on trying to return mine before re-calibrating via the above technique. Though I would like to hear peoples opinion on if its a calibration issue (i.e they didn't calibrate it from factory properly) or a hardware defect and the sensor it self is bad. My ADC value's when not covered sit at about 70 (clean screen after blowing with air at ear piece) My screen was solid green, wouldn't go white until I blew it out, I didn't check the value beforehand.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnevets27:
Went to Bell today and they will let me exchange it (backing it up now) I checked out the new phone they have for me and its ADC value is 30 with nothing close. From the link above it shows the "normal" value with nothing close to the proximity is around 10, not sure if I should be concerned with the new phone and try and find another if they are willing? Either way its better then my ADC 90 I'm getting today (blew with air yesterday to get it down to 70)

Thoughts? I would love to know a few more peoples ADC values.

I can't install superuser as i'm on a different model then the 2 common series out there... Unless you have some way to install root to correct... :)

It's more then likely difficult to complete without this...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmaciak:
well, I've had this exact same issue, but I read somewhere that if I blow into the earpiece (no air spray, I mean by my mouth, normally blow air into earpiece) it might get fixed. so I did and it is ok now :D it seems there might be getting dust under the glass through the speaker :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zadigre:
I used a can of compressed air... and ADC went form 120 and non working proximity sensor to 10-15 with a good working proximity sensor.

I've contacted the seller where I bought my device (Omegacell somewhere in Alberta... for a SM-N900 imported from some other country)... they told me that if I can reproduce the problem, they will replace my device since I bought the exchange warranty at the same time. So now I'm back to square one... because I got it working with the air through the speaker "trick". Hoping that this fix will last for ever... but if it ever comes back, I hope that it will be within my 1 year exchange warranty.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andr8:
Deep cleaning

I had the same problem with my proximity sensor. First it wouldn't work at all. Then ,after wiping the screen and blowing (with compressed air and mouth), it would work somewhat. The screen would go black when I put it to my ear but would not come back on after I took it down.

I tested it by dialing *#0*# and using the "Sensor" button. It would sense my hand approaching the sensor but not my hand going away.

I disassembled the phone following the instructions from GalaxyNote3Root.com (Sorry I can't post a link, not enough posts yet).

I wiped the sensor and the inside of the glass with a clean cloth, reassembled and the phone is now good as new.

This might obviously void your warranty, but on my AT&T SM-N900A there are no seals or tapes of any kind that has to be broken to get access. So no warranty voidage. At least no way anyone can tell you the phone was opened as long as you are carefull.

The whole operations takes about 15 mins.

I have a Nook HD+ running stable 10.1.3 with a cracked screen, as shortcut can I use CWM to clone my system to a 32GB nook HD+?

I'd like to use the old 16GB as a backup as it is still use able.

Thanks
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Yes you can. But since the second one is a clone of the first, it will have the same MAC Address as the first one and cannot be connected to your router at the same time. That can be fixed if you want after cloning it.

Hello,

How do we run CAB file, i want to install a software which is in CAB files and when i click on it, i am getting this message " there is no application associated with (file name). Run the application first, then open this file from within the application"

Any Idea ?

Thanks[/b]
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Flipside:
A CAB-file can only run on your device...You have to copy/paste it into your device as is ( my documents or so ) find it using your file-explorer, tap it, and it will install... :wink: hope this helps...

BTW it is not a zip-file. though it looks as if it is on your PC, just FYI... :)

Then sync with your device....copy and paste the file

into your device, in "my documents", disconnect your device from sync, then use your file-explorer ( the default one ) to find the cab file, tap it, and it installs...have just checked it, it works just fine... :wink:

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Flipside:
Are you absolutely sure that you copy this file as it is to your device ? and you have not made an attachment to cab. extentions on your desktop, so that it renames the file in transfer ? The only time you will need to click the file, is when it is in your mini, "my documents" folder, not before...!

If you are sure about the above, I mean sure..!!! Then maybe it's time for you to do something serious about your OS, 'cause then you have a problem.. :cry:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] SkizZO:
...use cab installer and associate files with it!

...then try to disable the setting and see if system setting is restored

:) Its now fine, i was doing mistake :)....Actually i was unzip the file first then i transfered the file, you mentioned AS IT IS helped me alot.

I really appriciate your help...and THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!!!!!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] kuangtian:
With this small tools,you can specify the folder you want the CAB to be installed to.

Just copy it to you PPC,and run it.You can associate this tools with CAB file so that next time you click a cab on your PPC,the cabinst will take over the rest work in your will.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I tried searching but cannot find exactly what I am looking for.

I have a Motorola Droid Razr Maxx XT912, Android 4.1.2, rooted. When I got this phone, what impressed me is the speed at which it ran. (1200Mhz 32bits Dual-Core). Before that, I had a Droid X, ran great for a year or two, then so slow it could take a minute or more before I could get the dialer up to make a phone call. Same thing with Google Maps, I would reach the destination before I could finally pull it up on Maps. I upgraded with Verizon to this new Razr Maxx. Very fast, very good. I installed Jellybean 4.1.2 and rooted it, use Titanium Backup, cannot use CWM ROM Manager anymore so I tried Safestrap.

Problem is that now this phone is over two years old and is doing the same thing. I have close to 400 apps from what Titanium tells me if I must restore. But these apps are set to update automatically and they seem to do so at a rapid pace. Every other day some group of apps has updated. Now the thing is too slow to be used as a phone most of the time or GPS navigation. I installed Micro CPU Monitor to see how busy this CPU is (Makes one pixel high lines across top of screen, one for each core) and most of the time, the CPU is pinned. What surprised me is how many apps just "run all the time" and not just when you want or need them. Many of the silly games do not exit, they run constantly although you do not see it. Could that be the problem? Too many apps running, too many updates requiring more and more power and memory?

How can I trim down the list of apps I want/need or at least make them NOT run unless I use them? I need to get some speed back on this phone, it is barely usable much of the time and do not have the money to buy new phones twice a year like Verizon wants me to. As it is, $150/Mo is too darned much money for a cell phone anyway. I have unlimited everything but not hotspot, I use Wireless Tether for Root Users for that.

How can I get this phone back up to speed again? Any help would be appreciated.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DumbleCore:
Try greenify, this let's u hibernate apps u don't need /want when screen is off, have nearly 200+ apps installed and most of them hibernated. That means, this apps will only run when start them, I think it's worth a try

Edit: U will get it in playstore and needs root, but u are :D

Tapped from my RazR
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tydiamond11:
Yes I had 250 apps and my phone was not that slow with greenify but I found I did not use like 40 of them lol so they were just taking up space.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DumbleCore:
Same here, just uninstalled useless stuff today, forgot some apps :D

Tapped from my RazR
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
You know, that is my problem too. I have a lot of apps and really do use them and like them, just not all the time. I am an electronic tech and some of the really good electronic apps are super, but I do not use them often. tydiamond11 is right, using Greenify it will put the crap you do not use all the time or consider essential to run constantly into hibernation. That means they do not run and use CPU, or use memory. But they still work when you click them. This would solve a huge part of this problem, I did install Greenify and am using it now. Just figured out how to use it when tydiamond11 replied how much it helped him. I just tested it, it shows a list of all your stuff, if it is running in background, foreground, and other important information on it. I do not use Twitter hardly at all but it must run all the time to receive incoming Tweets. Since I don't give a rat's behind about Twitter for the most part but want it around, I sent that baby packing to the hibernation room. Now that I got it figured out, I will use this a lot and I be my performance should improve. I will post results here because this is my thread and I want not only answers, but help for others who have this problem so they can find it.

Try Greenify and hibernate a bunch of running crap that you do not need running all the time and see if it helps. Find it at the play store or on Google. I put a link for you in the app name. Come back and share your experience. Let's help each other and do not forget to click the "Thanks" button if something really does help you.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] demonshouter:
I didnt use greenify, juice defender, xposed etc, and my phone is fast, I just installed trickstermod, debloat the phone, convert some system apps to user apps with titanium backup and I have about 350-400+ mb of free ram on stock rom. Now I have slim bean 4.3.1, and have 250+ of free ram without greenify etc.....you should try debloat your rom and convert some apps to user apps...

Hello me!!! Its me again!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Firex2:
what is the advantage of converting system apps to user apps?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Because you cannot shut off or Greenify system apps. They are considered essential so they are not allowed to be shut off of hibernated. BUT. a lot of carriers will put their own bloatware into system apps so you cannot shut them off like Verizon VZ Navigator, which is the same thing as Google Maps (free) and not as good. Titanium Backup will allow you to freeze or remove bloatware like this and making it a system app, allows task manager and Greenify to kill them or hibernate them. Even Faebook was a system app and I could not Greenify it and make it go to sleep. But the $3 Greenify allows you to insist and hibernate it, plus it will wake it up if you get a messages sent to the app. Facebook can be pretty annoying, besides running all the time, it pops and makes alerts for the most stupid stuff ever. "Chris Santoro is playing Farmville and invited ou to play." Or someone I know vaguely from school will be constantly posting pictures of their kids whom I have never met or will meet. I do not need these notifications constantly. I will check Facebook when I am ready and see what there is to see. With Grenify donate version, I now have Facebook hibernating and not bugging me with this nonsense anymore, and it works just as well as it did before.

I am seeing a Big improvement with Greenify already. I hibernated Google Maps until I need them and my load went way down on the phone. Maps and Chrome browser are already system apps so you cannot Greenify them without the donate version of Greenify. It was well worth the 3 bucks for the pay version.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Firex2:
i bought Greenify month ago, so there wouldn't be any further advantage =) i like the app much, it makes stock rom more smooth, but not as smooth as 4.3
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
What do you mean, 4.3? You mean Android 4.3? I got 4.1.2 and of course have OTA shut off because I don't want to lose root. It seems harder and harder to root these things as they go up in version number. As if Motorola closes all the exploits. I am dying to update this to a newer version of Android. What kind of phone you have? Motorola Droid Razr Maxx XT912?

You got a good, rooted 4.3 ROM for it? Where? Does it come pre-rooted? Will it still be a Verizon phone after that? I love the Cyanogen Mods and use them on my Samsung Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113 but I can use clockwork mod ROM MAnager on the tablet. CWM used to work on my Droid X but it bricks this thing pretty bad if I try it. Encryption Errror when booting, endless loop, have to re-ROM the phone all over again and it sucks! I installed Safestrap but never had the balls to see if it would actually recover the phone. I wanted to format my internal SD card and you can't with this thing. Instead of formatting, it does an "rm -rf" which is Linux talk for erase everything. I wanted it formatted to remove old partitions and Safestrap won;t even do that.

Tell me more dude, tell me more because I am drooling right about now!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DumbleCore:
Look in the dev section :D there are a lot of custom Roms, but before read about Bootmenu manager and safestrap, how to use them and all, then u r good to go:thumbup:

Tapped from my RazR
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I know how to get into AP Fastboot and installed and backed up some with Safe Strap, but never did a restore with safestrap before. I am rooted, want to keep root, but not confident that safestrap actually works. Wonder what version I have?3.1.1 Says installed, but safe system not active. I need a good safestrap tutorial first, I think.

I love CM Mods, use on tablet. But also love Linux installs. My old quad core AMD never got the drivers right for this phone. I had to use a slow laptop for that. Now I got a Sandy Bridge 8 core PC, this would probably work, but still more comfortable with Linux.

Android 4.3 is a nightly, still has bugs. I want a stable version because I really need this phone and cannot do "without the camera" or HP jack and audio not working right, etc. Maybe 4.1 would be the way to go. Who's ROM is this anyway? I keep a copy of it in case I wax the phone, I have to install ROM and gapps, then root the thing with razblade. All in one nice package.

Yeah, this is what I use, all in one nice package:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2192467

So if 4.3 is buggy, I should do 4.2 instead, no? What do you think? What is broken in 4.3 and do you have any links? Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Getting the hang of this

Alright, all of you wonderful people helped me a real lot today. Sometimes I come here for answers and if they are not here, they are no where. But, sometimes nobody will bother to answer. I got good help this time and learned some new stuff.

Greenify really is champ. It has cut the wait time for app opening dramatically, where task killers did not as the app would reopen the moment it was closed.

A newer version of Jelly Bean would be most helpful. I am currently running 4.1.2 that installs from the AP Fastboot menu via USB and Linux PC shell script. It worked well but then I had to root it and have not updated since because I do not want to lose root.

I learned more on how to use Safe Strap. I have it installed already and now know how to properly make and restore backups.

I learned how much easier it would be to install a new ROM and gapps with Safe Strap, pretty much as easy as CWM, which we all know, will brick our razr phones. (Well, you cannot totally brick them since the AP Fastboot menu is still available when the dreaded encryption error comes due to using CWN, so a new ROM can be installed via drivers in Linux or Windows)

I now have the Cyenogen Mod 10.2 for Jelly Bean 4.3 for Droid Razr phones and he associated gapps for 4.3, plus the update.zip file on my ext-sdcard to perform this upgrade. Best part is if this works as it shold, I could use Safe Strap to return my phone to usable and nice until I get the time to thoroghly test 4.3 and customize it with all my apps and decorations.

I relearned how to create and use update.zip with Titanium Backup so once the new ROM and gapps are installed, I can then flash update zip to my phone to allow Titanium Backup Pro to reinstall all of my apps, even the ones that did not come from google such as ad free.

This is a good thread so I will post back here with results when I have them, others with experience or questions of this natre please chime in.

Try slim rom or carbon rom, the most stable 4.3 Roms for me with JBX kernel :D

Tapped from my RazR
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Where do you find these ROMS dude? I was looking at CM10.2 and that sounded pretty good. I still want a fully functional phone where everything works. Are these stripped down or something? If Safe Strap does what it should, this would be easy like using CWM. Then, I could Safe Strap back to old ROM to use phone until I get done setting up new ROM or ditching it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Firex2:
thats right, we have dual-boot on our RAZRs :) also with BMM!

you could have a "safe" Slot 1 and a testing Slot 2.

the ROMS you are looking for are in the DEV section too
